Other Approaches

Beyond CAT, I draw on a range of other models, depending on what fits the person and their difficulties. These include:

Values

Thinking with someone what’s important to them, how aligned that is to their current way of living, and how they could move towards what’s important to them.

EMDR

Processing trauma memories to relieve emotional distress.

Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)

Particularly helpful for
self-criticism and shame.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

CBT for depression, CBT for panic attacks, CBT for OCD.
